Life Lessons from Jesus

Life Lessons from Jesus contains 36 Bible studies written by bestselling authors and pastors Bill Hybels and John Ortberg from their much-loved New Community Bible Studies Series. These 36 studies look at the life and teaching of Jesus—the only person to live a perfect life, who has much to say about how we live ours.

When Jesus was walking the earth, everyone had a theory about who he was—healer, revolutionary, king, friend, humble carpenter. But out of the vast complexity of characteristics and ideas there emerges one simple word that no one can deny: “Rabbi.”

These 36 Bible studies capture the heart of Jesus the Rabbi. He was a revolutionary, miracle-working, loving, powerful, divine teacher. For those whose minds are ready to be expanded, whose hearts are hungering to be touched, and whose lives are ripe for growth, John Ortberg and Bill Hybels invites people of all ages and backgrounds to pull up a chair and dig into the life lessons of Jesus captured in the Bible throughout the Gospels.

Designed for use as personal Bible study or group study, the interactive format will help readers grow in their ability to reflect the character of Jesus.
